Shot and Killed.

There lives in Dallas county, a few miles
from the city, the family Of ii. G. Revels.
Mollic began is the step-daughier of Mr.
Revels. A man by the name of Priest and
Miss Mollic loved, and had engaged TO mar
~. The step-father, Mr.. Revels, swore
that Priest should not marry her. Mr..
Priest, Miss Molle and a man by the name
OF Slader were passing the house Of Mr..
Reyeis In wagon, ON their way to the mar
riagc altar, and when opposite to Mr..
Revels' house, that gentleman ran out with
a shotgun with the intention of executing
his threat. Taking in the situation, Slader
drew his revolver and before Revels could
lire slader fired and the Revels reeled, and
fell mortally wounded-dying shortly after

porter received this morning from parties
who are cognizant of the circumstances.
This occurred yesterday afternoon. Sheriff
Lewis went to the place last night, return

and observation Of the results of adj
ministering cocaine in cumulative doses
for three months in cases requiring
such treatment have satisfied me that
there is no cocaine habit. When used to
cure the opium habit by persons igno-

ca ne has produced bad effects; but al
opium eater has habit of having 8

were to take sawdust as a substitute fol-
opium he would acquire sawdust

habit away from the patient and adj
minister cocaine properly, and you will
cure the opium habit without introduc.
ing coca ne habit.
"One singular effect of cocaine is
that it will induce people to speak who
are aill cted with silent meancholia.
A woman who had not spoken for nine
months began to talk within four min.
utes after l had injected four grains
and in ten minutes she talked at rate
that made up for lost time. Nothing
could stop her. Whether this property
of cocaine is beneficial and desirable
depends, perhaps, upon circumstances. !"
